There wasn't a line to stand in .. he just sat down at my table during a break with his son Aye Jaye, who then "magicked" a quarter away from me only to place into his wallet, which immediately burst into flames.

The implication is that between now and then the auditors directly employed by the commission are sacked (and join private firms) or somehow retain their pensions and benefits (at huge cost to the public purse) and are magicked across into the private sector.

I realize that to a Christian mindset that thinks the world was magicked into existence over a 6 day period by an invisible sky god 6000 years ago, it may seem like things can just magically pop into existence out of nowhere.
